I usually just take it because it helps me concentrate on the test. If you are going to take adderall to study for the test, you might as well take it for the test as well. I don't think being in the same mind set is much of a factor as much as if you need it help study then you probably need it to focus on the test

true. another problem I have on tests is that if there are lets say 4 or 5 in a row that i do not know i get pissed off really easily and then i am screwed the rest of the test thats why i have started just skipping it and going to the next one if i am not 100% sure to keep myself calm and come back to it at the end

My strategy has always been that if I'm not sure on an answer, I circle the number and come back to it after. It's way easier and less stressful to go back and look at them again after you know that you have completed the entire test. I also get frustrated as frick on some tests though

To put it in its simplest terms yes.

I do know where I read this, but I have heard that if your using these medications during studying it is equally important to also take them during the exam. I have no references or medical background, just remember reading this recently.

yeah I could of sworn I remembered someone telling me they smoke pot when they study and do it before tests too because of the frame of mind not sure how anyone could study while high on weed I would just stare at my notes and laugh

true dat. only other thing that I have heard a guy say is that he used to take 3 shots of whiskey before his public speaking class in the mornings if it was a speech day. said it calmed his nerves down and he was fine in front of the class. i can definitely see that helping. would have been bad if he got pulled over on the way to class though

I've taken all sorts of ADHD meds. In my personal experience a 30mg addy XR = 70mg Vyvanse. That's how its treated me anyways. Just never get on the generic amphetamine salts. They come in orange time release capsules.. I took 2 of those last night before playing some xbox and I felt like DUMP today. Does anyone else agree that addy and vyvanse also equals one hell of a diet? I can literally go without eating for 24 hours and not be hungry

My son is on it. He has ADD and it works wonders for him. It doesn't get him wired, it actually calms him down and helps him focus. Only drawback is that it cuts your appetite tremendously. I let him quit taking it during the summer and he eats constantly. Of course with all of the working out and running he does he's only gained 3 or 4 pounds.
